Moscow gas stations are reimposing fuel purchase limits, rationing gasoline and diesel as a worsening shortage affects supply to Russia’s capital. Stations in Moscow and the surrounding region restrict how much customers can buy, according to reporting from local outlets.
Authorities and fuel suppliers are working to manage demand and adjust distribution. Coverage indicates companies and regional stakeholders are redirecting supplies from other areas to address the pressure on Moscow’s market. The outlets also frame the situation as part of a broader pattern of recurring or deepening shortages, with one describing it as a “second wave.”
While the reports broadly agree on the existence of fuel limits and the underlying shortage, they differ mainly in emphasis: one focuses on the immediate rationing actions and the scrambling to move supplies, while the other highlights the role of specific companies, Gazprom Neft and Tatneft, and characterizes the shortages as a renewed wave.
